The Ionizer (array) is placed in water and fed positive Direct Currant, such as that used in a flashlight or a laptop battery, to one part of the ionizer while the second part of the ionizer is fed negative Direct Current.

This results in a small amount of water being deconstructed into Hydrogen and Oxygen, molecules thereby creating a negative ionic charge in the water. This machine uses analog energy which is the same energy produced by our bodies. This factor makes the body function more efficiently and energizes the body at the cellular level. The body will freely pull in the energy that this machine can use thought its energy meridians in the terminal points in the soles of your feet.

Budwig Center has decided to use this device since it is a cousin of acupuncture and reflexology, stimulating the meridians by carrying energy along them and balancing the body’s energy field. The energy from the Ionic Body Balancer is negatively charged and stronger than that positive charge allowing the ionic energy to break the toxins’ bonds and be carried away by the lymphatic system, which dumps into the blood stream, eventually being cleansed by the liver and kidneys. Toxins are not eliminated through the feet. This therapy is freeing your system of toxins by helping the lymphatic system flush them out. A few toxins are seen in the foot spa but these are leakage from the lymphatic system and not processed by the liver and kidneys. It is estimated that these only represent 10% of the total detox that is occurring with our system. The other 90% happens in your body up to several days after a treatment.

It is important to drink at least 1 liter of water the day you receive this therapy.

Treatment lasts: 30 minutes

How often should I use the system?

It is recommend that the system be used, if you are over the age of 50, once every 3 days until you have completed 14 sessions. If you are under the age of 50 you may use the system every 2 days until you have completed 14 treatments. Then let your body rest for 2 weeks, and then start the process of 14 treatments over according to your age. After you have completed your second round of 14 treatments a maintenance program of one session per week is often sufficient. You will be able to determine the appropriate maintenance schedule by how you feel. Drink plenty of water during and after your session to keep oneself hydrated. It is important to always drink sufficient amounts of water on a daily basis. Water cleanses the body.

What do the foot detox water color Mean?

There is some controversy over what happens to the water during a detox session. Sales people like to push the fact that the water changes from being clear to being quite dirty looking after a typical 30 minute detox session due mostly to the toxins being pulled out through the feet. Skeptics will quickly point out that the water will change color regardless of whether or not a persons feet are in the water. Experiments will confirm that the skeptics are correct in this case. The process of electrolysis and the ionic reaction that takes place will produce a color change. This reaction is influenced by whatever ionic particles are in the water. Different water from different regions, filtered water, biological contaminants from a persons feet or the container, will all influence what you see.

Proponents of detoxing with an ionic foot bath will not let the skeptics negate the positive effect experienced by so many people over recent years. When it comes to alternative medicine, not everything we experience has been proven or accepted by conventional western medicine. If it were, we would be a much healthier and happier society and much of the pharmaceutical industry would be out of work.

Many practitioners continue to use the colors as a gauge as to what part of the bodies are being affected. The general belief is that colors have unique vibrational energy signatures. These colors may have some connection to organs in the body. The traditional color chart shows which colors are believed to be associated with certain organs. While the colors have proven to be fascinating to observe over the years, many modern users recieve treatments and experiince the benefits of an ionic foot bath without paying attention to what the water looks like. No matter what, the feet are an excellent place for the body to absorb the healing negative ions.
